good advice..just bought the cleveland wedges and i cant chip with them on short chips....any advice?
Only chip as a last resort and if the green is sloping never chip at all.
Sloping which way, Ms Fish?
Chipping is another part of the golf tool-kit; use it when it's appropriate, and understand when you'd best use another shot type. I don't use chip when the green is sloped down to the hole. I do use the chip shot to flat, side-hill, or uphill pins from 10 yds or so and in.
Proper spin for the lie, green speed and final roll-out, along with proper aim to account for break along the post-flight roll, and you can get it to tap-in range or even in the cup.
The CG wedges are great because the mid-wedge (80 full) and lob-wedge (60 full) are pretty precise for total rated chip distance from a clean lie: just shy of full backspin will get you the rated yardage (11 yds & 7 yds, respectively), chipping to tourney greens.
From rough you do pay a yardage penalty which varies depending on applied spin. I like to 'just bury' the spin dot into the top layer of ruff.
